Scanner is a flatbed Epson Expression 1640XL... I'm getting a thin red transparent streak all the way down on one side (traveling the same direction as the lighting assembly). It's only showing up at higher resolutions, like 600dpi. In my experience, this means dust on the sensor. Any thoughts? Or does this need to go to an authorized service rep? tia.david
I had red, yellow and blue streaks on a scanner once. My DH took it apart and cleaned all the mirrors. That got rid of the lines. We were ready to junk it if necessary, so he had little risk of ruining anything. If the repair estimate isn't too high, it may be worth a try.
